Down

To be loved today we need to tame ourselves. To ignore our desires, to simplify our minds. We must play by the games and rules society tells us. Have our guard up to prevent a pain we will feel anyway. Because there is no wall you can build against yourself. We become our own worst enemy when it comes to love. When it comes to believing that someone is crazy enough to love us. Crazy enough to accept who we are and aren't. To stick with us and not only accept our dreams but to encourage them. To make us capable of what we never thought we could accomplish. Someone who might actually like our quirks and think our lame jokes are funny. Someone who isn't afraid of what the world thinks of us because we know its real. Becoming lost in each others' words but finding one another in a silence so pure. Because we wouldn't need to speak to understand. Hell, we wouldn't even need the physical. Just knowing each other would be enough to satisfy the loneliness. They'd understand how down you were for them, and wouldn't disappear when things became difficult. Attention that does not need to be fought for. Because you trust each other with views and problems, alike.
